Sarah Sanders thinks Nancy Pelosi should smile more

Source: MSN/USA Today

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., "should smile a lot more often," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Wednesday.

Sanders made the comment during an interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo after Cuomo said he had never seen Pelosi as grim-faced as she was at President Trump's State of the Union address Tuesday night. Sanders said she disagreed with Cuomo.

"I think Nancy Pelosi looks like that all the time," Sanders said. "I think she should smile a lot more often. I think the country would be better for it. She seems to kind of embody the bitterness that belongs in the Democrat party right now."

Pelosi was far from the only stony-faced Democrat in the audience for Trump's speech Tuesday, yet her expression was singled out by many on social media.

Hey, since Trump is having Melania take lead in fighting allegations that Trump had an affair with a pornstar, why not have Sarah Sanders take lead in pushing the sexist idea that a woman former speaker of the house should smile more.

My brother also remarked on how she looked like a halibut!

So I made him this pic-which was only moderately successful. It's too flattering.

Not that it's something we should make fun of if true, but her right eye looks so different from the left.

You noticed she didn't mention Melania's scowls. She is in a continual scowl - even if the camera switches to her, and was most definitely doing it during the SOTU.

Anyone catch this? Melania Trump failed to stand with everyone else when Trump stated:

"In America we know that faith and Family, not government and bureaucracy are the the center of Democracy"#SOTU #StateofOurUnion

15. Yes. Her comment is particularly surprising because of her own near-permanent scowling expression.

I suspect she has been told that pretty often by the sexist men in her life, and she is simply regurgitating the insult.

It will be just a matter of time before Nancy is grinning from ear to ear watching as you and the rest of your ilk are hauled off to prison. And, she will be FAR from alone in that.

16. SHOCKER!!! Democrats are not happy when Republicans control every branch of government!

And when those Republicans turn a blind eye to traitorous behaviour, and are systematically dismantling every good thing the previous Democratic President accomplished. Gee ya think?

Its such a bully move. Like when some schoolyard bully takes your lunch money and pushes you into the mud, laughing. Then smiles down and says "What's the matter, you gonna cry now?, why such a frowny face loser?"

The sad fact is that Republicans are the ones that are perpetually pissed off. Even when they hold power. Not the psychopaths at the top, but underlings and voters. When a Democrat is in the Whitehouse its non stop anger. When they hold all the power its seething hatred when anyone dares to criticize the job they are doing (or not doing).

How often have we seen SHS smile? Here's her usual mug; listening to a question about Trump's behaviour most likely. Where the wheels are spinning whilst giving the reporter the 'evil eye' for daring to ask the question.
